From the Organizer
Get ready, Montclair — The Montclair Mile is back for Year 3, and we’re taking the whole experience to a new level: the racing, the energy, and the party. Last year, we saw hundreds of runners and walkers tear through the streets in front of packed sidewalks and cheering crowds. This year? We're ready to outdo ourselves.
Whether you’re chasing a PR, trotting with your pup, or just in it for the beer, pizza and food trucks — this event is for you. Think block party meets race day, with back-to-back running/walking heats, DJ vibes, local vendors, and a full-on celebration just steps from the iconic Montclair Brewery.
All registered runners will receive a Brooks branded bucket hat, cold drink from Montclair Brewery, delicious slice of pizza from Brick and Dough. Awards for all races!
